Serena Williams hospitalized for hematoma, pulmonary embolism

Tennis star Serena Williams was hospitalized Monday (Feb. 28) for emergency surgery at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles to treat a hematoma she sustained as a result of treatment for a more critical situation, her rep tells People. A hematoma is a collection of blood in body tissue. It differs from a bruise because a bruise is a collection of blood just under the skin.

The more critical situation was a pulmonary emboslism (a blood clot in the lungs), which was discovered last week. The rep adds, "Doctors are continuing to monitor her situation closely to avoid additional complications."

This is not the only medical treatment Williams has recently been receiving. She has been plagued by a foot injury since July 2010, when she cut her foot on some broken glass at a German restaurant. There were complications that led to several surgeries on her foot and the injury caused her to miss the Australian Open and the Hopman Cup.

Her next scheduled match is the Nike Clash of Champions March 8 at the University of Oregon. There is no word as to whether she will still be able to participate after her most recent hospitalization.

Get well soon, Serena!

March 02, 2011. Breaking news report:
Serena Williams looked stunning at Sunday night's Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party – but, privately, the tennis ace was struggling with a serious health scare that took a dramatic turn on Monday.

Williams, 29, had been spotted at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles several times over the past week. When contacted about the visits, Williams's rep, Nicole Chabot, confirmed the athlete's heath status.

"Monday Serena Williams underwent emergency treatment at Cedars for a hematoma she suffered as a result of treatment for a more critical situation," the rep says in an exclusive statement.

"Last week, Serena suffered from a pulmonary embolism [a blood clot in the lungs] which was discovered upon her return to L.A. She had been in New York for doctor appointments for the ongoing issues with her foot."

The rep added, "Doctors are continuing to monitor her situation closely to avoid additional complications."

What's tripping me out about Serena is her need to be out at parties instead of sitting her ass down and getting better. She's treated for an embolism last week, kicking it at Oscar parties Saturday and Sunday, then in the hospital Monday for the hematoma. Don't nobody love a good party more than me, but it seems like a lot of risk for a party. confuse

Regarding Grammy and Oscar events, n ah, she's just partying. lol

Besides, if she can miss tennis related activities due to her health, she could miss parties for the Grammys and Oscars. It ain't like she got a record or movie to promote. lol

I've been trying to avoid reading this. She really is one of the greatest female athletes in our nation's history. She 's talented, good-natured, killer business woman, has a fine ass man...it's depressing to think she may not be in the best health.

Speaking of Common, word on the skreets is they broke up and I saw her with her ex, director Brett Ratner a few times over the last few weeks. hmmm

A bootless Serena Williams dazzles at Oscar parties

By Chris Chase

A dazzling Serena Williams, sans boot (finally!), made two red carpet appearances in Hollywood on Sunday night. The tennis star attended Elton John's Academy Awards viewing party and then made an appearance at Graydon Carter's Vanity Fair celebration.

Serena began the night at a fundraiser for Elton John's AIDS foundation. The dress was beautiful, if a little "Black Swan"-ish. Venus probably thought it needed to be three feet shorter.

Though Serena holds up her various accessories in this picture, more attention was focused on what she didn't have on her foot. "I finally had the cast taken off a few days ago," Serena told the New York Post. "I have been wearing it for so many months, so I am so happy. My foot feels good and I'm starting to train right away, and I intend to be back for the French Open [in May]."

Timetables for Serena's return are as reliable as Charlie Sheen (zing!), but after months of open-ended responses to the "when are you coming back?" question, it's good to hear a definitive date for a change.

Serena made a costume change and then stopped by the night's biggest soiree, the Vanity Fair Oscar party.

Another glamorous look. The black one is better, but both of Serena's gowns are "best-dressed list" material.

Is that a bag, a taquito or the Dead Sea Scrolls? Discuss.

Once inside the party, Serena hobnobbed with celebrities. And Brett Ratner. Though Serena's gowns were long enough to cover her feet, this quote, "I have so missed wearing heels, I can't wait to get them back on!" and the fact that she's not towering over the director of "Rush Hour 3" suggests she's wearing flats.

From the Washington Post's description of the VF party:

"Someone bid $80,000 at Elton John's party for two tickets to this one. The cost of a top-tier college education -- for what? To get elbowed in the ribs by the most skilled crowd-parter in the world: Serena Williams, whose backhand is crippling in a roomful of people who ignore every 'Pardon me.'"

She's throwing elbows? Was Justine Henin there? Did Peter Fonda say he didn't care for Green Day?

Serena can hold her own in Hollywood as well as she can in Wimbledon. But let's hope she trades in red carpets for red clay real soon

I love this dress!

Her tits look massive... almost saggy in this angle.

this picture is a better representation of the dress... she is slender and has an awesome body but the camera doesn't like her curvy frame.

Partying hard! lol

mimi2	Yeah heard about this. The good news is another tennis player sent a well wish on twitter and Serena's mom responded saying that Serena's "doing well". All that time in the boot was the cause of the clot, so now that it's finally off she should be able to recover. Luckily they caught it in time.

lol Told ya. Bitches kill me wearing formal gowns without the right foundation garments. Saggy tittays will fuck up any look. J-Hud is another one. Great dress, but I didn't need to see her titties stuck under her neck like canteloupes, totally cheapened the look IMO. disbelief

But that orangey/coral color looks good on dark skinned sistas. Just last week I bought a bad ass DVF dress in that color. love

If you can hold a pencil under your breast,you are sagging and don’t act like you are not. Support your girls. Like SCNDLS said, wear the right foundation.

J-Huds tittays were light skinned disasters next to her bronzed chest.

You are so right about wearing proper under garmets, a gown can hold up all that on its own.

That dress is hot! Love it! I love tangerine/orange too!

falloff Fucked up an otherwise stellar look.

Yeah, I love that shit, except on a bridesmaid's dress. I was in a wedding where the dresses were made in an iridescent tangerine fabric. Beautiful fabric, but a bitch still looked like a chocolate pumpkin going down the aisle. That was 15 years ago and I still cuss that heffa out e'rytime I see her about that shit. Unforgiveable! hammer
